most kush strains I have gathered through my trips and breeding are large not big large. Dark gray, or a almost black. with small mottling. but they are round.

mexican are shaped like eggs or ovoid and look like they have been pinched.
They are grey with a brown tint over it.

colombians are gone but you can find growth paterns in some mexican that will have a distant resemblance. they were medium size dark brown.

african seed has a deep hole, it is huge. and has a red tint to it.

so mix the seven maybe 8 locations species have came from 40 years ago you will have alot of hard work.

I follow growth patterns, no topping, watch them to learn them.

Hi spiritualyEnhanced,
The Columbian Red seed from the seventies were anything but large,maybe some of the smallest seed Ive ever seen,
too bad I did not keep them all.
They were generally black to dark brown,but half the size of the Mexican imports from the same time frame.
RC Clarke's Marijuana Botany has an excellent description of many original Land Race strains, seeds,leaf types and growth patterns.
Spot on information I might add.

most of pll in this thread dont know the simple fact the that selection starts with seeds

to be more precise, it starts with the location of the seed on the motherplant


lots to learn in this thread ... but i guess ppl lost their ability to observe, i cant blame em - tv 24/7 makes you blind to nature


dont stop SE

hi deran,
Can you document this data?
I have read where the Chinese use seed selection based on location ON the plant,
But the study is done with wheat and several other Food crops.
never have I heard of this being true in Cannabis.
I would love to read any Proven Data on this subject.

thats exactly where im aiming at, have lots of links from the shandong university - true , the chinese didnt do studies on cannabis - so i did my own (smaller scale studies)

conclusions were:
all seeds produced (the propper way) , were bigger than any bought seeds, no matter if sativa or indica gens (could be also due the fact, that the biggest seeds stay "in house")

those selected seeds produced specimens with same and better quality and quantity than their mothers, making breeding/crossing more efficient and faster (of course pollen was selcted the same way)

no germinating issues, more viable (a matter of some 4 hours to sprout)


i see the analogy to us humans - only the first sperm ovulates the egg - and we have the possibility to manualy take this first "sperm" pollen, and bring it to the choosen ovulum (something even in vitro fertilization cant do today in the labs)

best thing about it, everbody can do it at home or in the field

I think big seed sellers don't wait the full maturation of the seed, they probably wait 45-50 days after the pollination and harvest, so the seeds are a bit small and grey

no germinating issues, more viable (a matter of some 4 hours to sprout)

fresh seeds?

actually it's not the first sperm that fertilize the egg, the ovule has a external protection that needs to be worn out by the earlier camicase sperm (they die to produce enzymes)

Did you compare the "premium" seeds with the botton branch 2nd class seeds?
